Day off

We thought today was going to be a great day off, but turned out a little wrong at the end. The five of us, Richard, Brooke, Grant, Jesse and I, rented a car again for the day off, we went to the rainforest. The forest was beautiful and so by it’s name, it was raining. We stopped to get some food, fried little things; the best was corn with cheese, like a cheese stick battered in thick corn goop. Then it was a little further up the mountain to a viewing tower and then to a path to the waterfall. Hiked out to the waterfall on a paved path, raining the whole time, we were drenched by the time we got there. The waterfall was muddy and full on thrashing down the rocks, lots of rain, monsoon.

From the rainforest we drove to the coast to take a ferry to an island. While we waited we had an amazing lunch, fish that was brined in garlic and breaded with crackers, served with fried plantains. Off on the ferry we went, took an hour to get there, which we were all surprised about, by the time we got there we realized we only had about 45 minutes before the next ferry. We asked if there was another one, there was at 6, so we walked around a little then got tickets. Long story short we ended up throwing rocks at another rock by the water and missed our ferry.

So we spent the night on the island.

A path, a path!
Waterfall.
Ferry boat.
Food stand.
Donut car.
Chickens in trash.
Creature of the deep.
